B: CAUTION• When servicing a vehicle, be sure to turn the ig-nition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cablefrom battery, and wait for more than 20 secondsbefore starting work.• The airbag system is fitted with a backup powersource. If the airbag system is serviced within 20seconds after the ground cable is disconnected, itmay inflate.

• If the airbag warning light illuminates, repair thevehicle immediately. Airbag or pretensioner may in-flate incorrectly, or not inflate in collision.• If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module,pretensioner, and harness are deformed or dam-aged, replace them with new genuine parts.

• When checking the system, be sure to use a dig-ital circuit tester.Use of an analog circuit tester may cause the air-bag to activate erroneously.

• When checking, use a test harness. Do not di-rectly apply the tester probe to any connector termi-nal of the airbag.

• Do not check continuity of either of the airbagmodules for driver, passenger or side, or preten-sioner.

• Do not drop the airbag modulator parts, subjectthem to high temperature over 93°C (199°F), or letwater, oil, or grease get on them; otherwise, the in-ternal parts may be damaged and reliability greatlylowered.

• If any damage, opening, or rust is found on theairbag system wire harness, do not attempt to re-pair using soldering equipment. Be sure to replacethe faulty harness with a new genuine part.

• Install the wire harness securely with the speci-fied clips to avoid interference or tangled up withother parts.

• Do not allow water or oil to come in contact withthe connector terminals. Do not touch the connec-tor terminals.

• Either of the airbag modules for driver, passen-ger or side, or pretensioner must not be disassem-bled.

• The removed front seat with the airbag modulemust be kept at least 200 mm (8 in) away from wallsand other objects.

• Do not use the airbag or pretensioner parts fromother vehicles. Always replace defective parts withnew parts.• Never re-use a deployed airbag or pretensioner.• When painting or performing sheet metal workon the front part of the vehicle, including the frontwheel apron, front fender, and front side frame, re-move the front sub sensors and wire harness of theairbag system.• When painting or performing sheet metal workon the side of the vehicle, including the side sill,center pillar, and front and rear doors, remove theside airbag sensors and wire harness of the airbagsystem.

A: OPERATIONCAUTION:• Do not discard an undeployed airbag modulebecause it may cause serious personal injurywhen accidentally deployed.• As a rule, the airbag module should be de-ployed while still installed in the vehicle. Do notremove it unless necessary.• Deployment of the airbag module should bedone on a flat place free from any possible dan-ger. Avoid deploying outdoors during rainy orwindy weather.• Deploying the airbag module causes a highexplosive noise, be sure to warn people in thearea, and do not allow anyone within a 5 m (16ft) radius of the disposal site.• Some smoke will be emitted from deploymentof the airbag module. Therefore, it must be de-ployed in a well-ventilated place with no firealarms nearby.• Wear gloves, goggles, and earplugs duringthis operation. Wash your hands afterwards.• After deployment, the airbag module will beespecially hot. Leave it unattended for 40 min-utes, and then discard it.• Do not let water get on the deployed airbagmodule.• Wrap the deployed airbag module in an air-tight vinyl bag, and discard it.• If circumstances do not permit airbag moduledeployment, contact a SUBARU dealer.
